This would make good use of any float planes .. other than targets or anti-shipping.
just an idea.

You feel up to waiting a few hours for that to (maybe) successfully happen?
I think that old-game style is a better and more realistic approach. Basically if you land safely in the water, you then get a summary (in the old days this used to be a short hand made animation with some text) showing what happened. If you drowned/froze to death or if you were rescued. No user input needed. SoW could do it just like that - a few artistic illustrations showing a pilot in the sea with a floatplane coming to rescue, or a drowned pilot.
Silent Hunter 4 has some nice after-mission stuff that I really liked (great illustrations and texts telling you what happened as a result of your mission. Promotions, medals, transfers, retirement etc). So easily done, so little work, yet adding so much to the feel.
